*urgent* Steering wheel suggestions. V3 or V4???!!!

[plucky duck]

I'm kinda itching for a pc steering wheel lately, especially when I play lots of racing games 24/7.

The matter of facts is that there's both an Interact V3 and V4 out there selling for $80 and $160 Canadian, respectively.

Major differences are that the V4 has force-feedback, F1-style gear shifters, and realistic rubberized feel to the steering wheel.

Question is, is it worth payin' double the price for those extra features? Is force-feeback a must-have feature? I don't wanna kick myself in the *** for buying the wrong one.

What about the issues of cpu power. Will having a steering wheel, especially ones with force-feedback, put a noticeable drag on my racing games?

These are the racing games I've got that support steering wheel and force-feedback...
NFS III
TD5
Midtown Madness

Force-feedback enhances the entire gaming exprience. A must for gaming enthusiasts. Whether it is worth it, that's your call p-ducky. I use a FF stick for racing games, it's pretty neat. I wouldn't want to use a regular stick.

Big difference.

As to which, I can't say. http://www.force-1.com/ There's a few reviews over there.

You race MotorHead? Fast FF racing. Intense speed.
